Example sentences for: aβ
How can you use “aβ” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Cao and Sudhof [56] have recently discovered that the APP C-terminal fragment generated by α- or β-secretase is itself cleaved to release Aβ and an APP intracellular domain (AICD) that diffuses into the nucleus, possibly acting there as a transcription factor.
These neurons receive monosynaptic input from Aδ and Aβ fibers.
Amyloidogenic (“amyloid generating”) cleavage by an enzyme called beta-secretase yields “sticky” Aβ peptides that aggregate to form deposits, whereas non-amyloidogenic cleavage by alpha-secretases generates soluble peptides that do not form deposits.
Amyloid deposits are composed of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), a 4-kDa peptide released during “amyloidogenic” proteolytic processing of the Alzheimer Aβ precursor protein (APP) [2].
sAPP α and sAPP β differ by the inclusion in sAPP α of the first 16 residues of Aβ.
